On Friday's Mark Levin Show: Mark talks about a speech that Donald Trump gave in Las Vegas in which he dropped the F-bomb 3 different times. Is this man really Presidential material? Also, the White House threatened to ban a San Francisco Chronicle reporter from future fundraisers because they posted a video of Obama protestors. We're paying for these events, why shouldn't we know what is going on there? Another question is why doesn't Obama ever talk about Libya anymore?

We're in a war and he acts like it doesn't exist. Finally, John Miller joins Mark to discuss the history of football and his new book, The Big Scrum: How Teddy Roosevelt Saved Football.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show: Mark focuses on the actual profits that oil companies are making and says it's not as much as you may think. Both the government and environmental regulations, plus the massive amount of taxes, are causing prices to go up across the board. Rather than fix our energy problem, we are limiting our capabilities to drill more and to produce more oil. Mark also explains how the price of fuel is going up because of lack of supply, lack of domestic drilling, the devaluing of the dollar, and our outrageous fiscal and monetary policies. Mark also gives his conservative campaign slogan, "Either you're with us and the Constitution, or don't vote!"

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show: Donald Trump got punk'd today as President Obama released his long form birth certificate. Can we finally move on and focus on important issues? Trump and Ron Paul both cannot win – they are just a distraction and we need a candidate with strong conservative values to run – something they don't have. Our political enemies will get more control and further destroy American society. Mark also talks about Obama's energy policy and explains how President Obama and his Administration have created no new sources of energy, while at the same time obstructing old sources of energy. Where's the logic in that?

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show: Mark begins the show by talking about Ben Bernanke, the QE2 and the financial and economic repression that we will be seeing. There is going to be market disruption because we are not going after the fundamental problems and concerns that we have regarding economic stability. Also, Donald Trump is against the Paul Ryan budget – meaning he is against fiscal conservatism and out of touch with what conservatives want. Rather than take a stand on the issue of spending, Trump is taking a pass at it. Finally, Mark talks about oil subsidies and wonders why we subsidize foreign companies to drill oil near us, while we tax our own oil companies and tell them they can't. Society came before the government, and it's important to not fall victim to the government.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show: Mark focuses on the rising price of gas and explains what is really driving them. It is not on the speculators, despite what the liberal media has been telling you. Rather, it is based on the policies and regulations that the Obama Administration has not only been embracing, but enacting. They are blocking offshore drilling, not allowing land drilling in parts of America where we know there's oil, while at the same time allowing foreign competitor countries access to the oil that we should be going after. Mark also talks about how we shouldn't be surprised if the federal government starts taxing us in other ways – including on electric cars and a mileage tax. Also, Adam Hasner calls into the show and announces that he will be running for Senate against Bill Nelson, and Mark endorses him and praises his fiscal conservatism.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show: Gas prices keep going up while Obama uses thousands of gallons of fuel to fly all over the country on our tax dollars. Americans are eating less because of high food prices and driving less because of high fuel prices with no end in sight. Mark gives his own budget plan on what we need to cut and by how much and explains how America would look if he were in charge. Jimmy Pethokoukis, Reuters columnist, joins the show to discuss Obama's budget plan. Also, Herman Cain calls in to discuss his presidential exploratory committee.

The statist hates the capitalist system and does anything they can – be it taxes, or regulations to hinder the development of free enterprise. Mark also talks about the blame from the Democrats on speculators, as if they are the ones at fault and not Obama's policies. Professor Walter E. Williams calls in and talks about how we need to focus on the problem of big spending by the government.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show: Mark plays audio from President Obama where he says the radical GOP wants to change the social compact in America. Mark says that Obama is using language to try and change / transform society into more of a totalitarian one. He's being dishonest with his propaganda to the American people, and changing the social contract by destroying the ability for people to advance. We need to create a healthy, vibrant economy that rewards those who work hard – not tax them and give no incentive on productivity. This is a fight for our children and grandchildren's future, so that they are not more indebted to the state.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show: President Obama has been taught his whole life to despise the capitalist system. He wants to use unconstitutional powers and limit your ability to earn as much as you are able to. He wants to take from the haves, and give to the have not’s – destroying any sense of incentive. But really, how have we benefited from these huge government programs or the ones that Obama is proposing? Are we better off today with more government in our lives? Mark also talks about Donald Trump and says that he is now claiming to be a Republican, but we can't forget what he used to be and his past contributions. Finally, Andrew Breitbart calls in about his new book: Righteous Indignation: Excuse Me While I save the World.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show: Inga Barks of KMJ in Fresno fills in for Mark. She talks about taxes being due for American citizens and how President Obama doesn't understand the average American family and the struggles that they are going through. Obama is decimating the individual's opportunity for wealth growth and economic expansion, while continuing to grow the welfare state. Also, Inga plays audio from Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson saying that the debt ceiling must be raised or otherwise children will be eating off the street and with no shoes or clothes! The government wants to tell parents what their children are allowed to eat for lunch, while further taking parents abililty to raise their kids on their own.


April 15, 2011

On Friday's Mark Levin Show: President Obama is the biggest problem in America right now. His radical and statist ideology is hurting America. He is now deliberately lying to the American people with liberal propaganda and lies about what the Republicans are doing and plan to do. Mark also gives an in-depth look at Donald Trump and asks a significant question: where was Donald Trump during the rise of the Tea Party, and why has he been contributing to the campaigns of people like Senator Schumer and Congressman Anthony Weiner? Also, Donald Trump says he's for universal healthcare – does that sound like a conservative to you? We need true conservatives, not flashy entertainers that the media is in love with. Finally, Dr. Larry Arnn of Hillsdale College calls in and talks about Hillsdale’s online Constitutional town hall.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show: The House and the Senate have both approved the federal spending bill and have let the American people down by doing so. There will be no government shutdown, as the Republicans and some conservatives caved into the establishment’s pressures and have decided to go along with the Democrats. The middle class should be very worried about what happened, because President Obama, though he claims otherwise, does not relate nor want to protect the middle class. Congressman Allen West calls in and talks about his disappointment with Thursday's budget votes, and about a game plan for the upcoming debt ceiling debate. Finally, Mark talks about idea of morality and morals in the Declaration of Independence.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show: Mark analyzes President Obama's budget speech from earlier Wednesday. Mark says enough is enough and that Obama doesn't care about the American working class or preserving American society as we know it. The foundation of this society is being destroyed and radically transformed. This is what happens with a socialist mentality – it is idealist propaganda versus an actual reality of the facts. Congressman Paul Ryan calls in and gives his first assessment of his response to President Obama's speech. We can no longer let our Congress sit aside while all of this is going on – they need to get involved and represent the American people and stop this class warfare stuff. Finally, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann calls in and talks about the budget and Obama’s “embarrassingâ€Â speech.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show: Mark says that the Republicans deceived and deliberately lied to conservatives and the American people regarding this budget bill. The so-called "$38.5 billion dollar cut," is not nearly that high, and is in fact much lower. Yet, Speaker Boehner and others are talking about it like this is a great accomplishment or a win for conservatism, when it's not. We are divided today because a small amount of the population is liberal but they control so much of the government and are trying to transform America into a vision that is not coherent with the Constitution.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show: Republicans and Speaker Boehner let the American people down by making a deal on the budget this past Friday. We had a chance to stand strong on our principles and they backed down. It was the American people and conservatism that brought life back into the Republican Party, and they have sold us out to the federal bureaucracy. We keep hearing comparisons to what the Republicans did in 1995 with President Clinton; this isn't 1995 and the Republican's have a much stronger hand now than they did back then. We have a far left President that is stripping away our liberties and putting us faster in debt than any other previous Presidents.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show: With victory in our sight of showing the Democrats and the federal bureaucracy that we will not stand for this reckless spending, some Republicans now want to give in and compromise at the last hour. We know that massive parts of the government won't be shut down – thus, "essential government resources," will stay open and continue. Therefore, don't believe the mainstream media as they use the Democrats talking points from the likes of Senator Schumer and others, who are trying to use scare tactics on the American people. Senator Jeff Sessions calls in and talks about how this is in the American people's control – which goes beyond party lines. This is about America's future and the future generations of America. Finally, Senator Schumer compares the Tea Party to fleas on a dog.

If this holds up, it’s a huge victory for conservatives because the leftists thought they could pay and buy a Judge and they have been proven wrong. Congressman Louie Gohmert calls in and talks about how President Obama is threatening to not pay the military if there is a government shutdown, even though in the past the military has always been paid during a shutdown. Mark calls this an absolute disgrace that welfare recipients are paid but suddenly our military isn’t. Finally, Mark goes through the individual programs that would not be cut if a government shutdown happened, and says don't believe the lies the mainstream media is telling you.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show: Why are the Republicans and Congressman Paul Ryan getting pressured about the budget? Shouldn't the Democrats and the big government types that are in charge be the ones held responsible for not wanting to pass a coherent budget that the American people would agree with? Mark tells senior citizens to pay attention to what is being said and to realize that the left hates you and is doing everything they can to take more from you, especially in Obamacare. The Constitution has been breached by the big government Democrats and there are no restraints on them anymore – they don't care how much money they have to spend, thus devaluing the dollar. Finally, how many more times will President Obama keep blaming the Middle East and speculators rather than his own energy policies for the reason why gas prices keep going up?
